| Add Lisinopril review This medicine worked well for me for 6 years, then 1 night I almost died from the Lisinopril. I contracted angioedema. Imeddiately was put in ICU and almost had to have a trach done. Now I can never take any medicines with Pril at the end. I can only take the white one as had a bad allergy attach from a small yellow one. Iam on Triameterene, Amalodipine, Bystolic and just about a mouth ago my doctor also added Lisinopril , now I have developed dizziness and I have fallen twice. I called my doctor and he decreased the Lisinopril to just 5mg once a day. Still dizzy. | Add Ramipril review This medication did lower my blood pressure but the dry cough/hacking was really bad. My doctor switched this medication today 10/21/13 with losartan potassium 25mg; I was taking ramipril 5mg. high heart rate over 105, but it lowers my BP. Am irritable and light headed, fatigued w/tremors, constipated, sensitive to temperature; vision problems, w/cognitive issues w/memory have taken this drug for about three months now,,,very effective on lowering bp,,,but have now the dry cough,,,drives me nuts,,,seems like a tickle in throat or upper chest,,,so bad a times, almost gag before coughing fit is over,,,Doc said it may happen,,so guess it's time to go see him and make a change in med,, | |||
